Welcome

You have reached the Home Page of PhiloBiblon, a free
internet-based bio-bibliographical database of texts written in the
various Romance vernaculars of the Iberian Peninsula during the
Middle Ages and the early Renaissance.

PhiloBiblon (which takes its name from Richard de
Bury's 14th-c. description of an ideal library) is the
corpus of data catalogued by the PhiloBiblon Project:
the romance vernacular sources of medieval and early modern
Iberian culture. It is also the bio-bibliographical database management system
designed to catalog the primary sources themselves, both manuscript and printed, the texts they contain, the individuals involved with the production
and transmission of those sources and texts, and the libraries holding them, along with relevant secondary references and authority files for persons, places, and institutions.

For the latest information see the PhiloBLOG on the left or follow PhiloBiblon on
Facebook or Twitter.

PhiloBiblon consists of four separate bibliographies, each of which has its own Home Page:

We are very pleased to acknowledge the support of generous grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities (PM-5008-07 [2007 - 2010] and PW-51633-14 [2014 - 2015]) to enhance web access to the data in PhiloBiblon's component bibliographies. In addition to the previous access to descriptions of manuscripts and early printed editions, the enhanced web site provides access to libraries, to texts and witnesses, to biographical data, and to secondary references, among many other improvements.

Additional support has been provided by the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, the L.J. Skaggs and Mary Skaggs Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the Fundación Ignacio Larramendi.

The PhiloBiblon Resource List provides links to web sites that offer information relevant to the component bibliographies as well as to general information on Iberian medieval studies.
